Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Coleman: A-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Patriots should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Coleman falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Milton III pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with edge rusher and running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Brian Thomas Jr. and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in Round 2, Pick 2 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at slot 58 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Braden Fiske at pick 66. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Patrick Paul. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 88th overall pick on Khyree Jackson with edge rusher and running back unsolved.
Pick102 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni is a better player than pick 102 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 136th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137 Rnd5 Beau Brade
No edge and no loss on Beau Brade in No. 137; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
By-the-book stuff, Jaheim Bell at pick No. 161 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tip Reiman
A tidy little value on Tip Reiman in the 231st pick, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
